Hey mate how is the pumpkin challenge going. Would have loved to taken part
but could not get any seeds. Could you send me some of your pumpkin seeds
if you get any from your giant? I would love to use some for next year, but
Holland’s Giant Pumpkins could not send me any due to customs. Would gladly
send you some tomatoe seeds you might not have.
Cheers David. ﻿

Excellent tips for growing tomatoes, Luke! I’m always interested to hear
how other gardeners approach things even when it’s different from my
approach. The important thing is to have healthy productive tomato plants.﻿

Thanks for the info! I planted my first square foot garden (following the
book to the T – 1ft spacing, 6in depth) this year and I feel that my
tomatoes are stressed – flowers falling off, blight, low yield, etc. My
experience has me questioning the square foot gardening method in general.﻿

I give my tomatoes WHEY from my greek yogurt making. Mulching with thin
layers of organic grass clippings helps with the splash back from the soil.
Plus, worms love the grass clippings, then POOP and fertilize my tomatoes.
After all this then I PRAY I DON’T GET BLIGHT. :0)﻿

Hi i have two Ox heart plants which keep getting attacked by leaf miners.i
used a pesticide on them and even moved them to the shed but they are still
being attacked. How can i get rid of them? never had a problem last year
like this . What im doing at the moment is scraping the leaves to get to
the worm and kill them.﻿

a lot of people’s tomatoes get the blight when it rains. the soil splashes
up on the leaves, and the problems begin. mulching keeps dirt from
splashing up.
i think it takes a long time for eggshells to be ‘edible’ by tomato plants.
love your videos, man! thank you.﻿

What is the fertilizer you mentioned that you give after the. 4th. What
source can we use for tomatoes? I had that exact problem last year. I had
an abundance of a plant but little fruit. I also would like to express my
appreciation! You have been a main inspiration for my garden this year.
Thank you !!﻿

Hi wanted to let you know that my Ox heart tomato’s are doing great & the
leaf miners have just stopped attacking… My plants are 8inchs, healthy &
already starting to get out flowers . I got a few questions if you dont
mind too. I bought a Tomato Grow Bag & im gonna use a Botanico Tomato Cage.
What i wanted to know please if i have to try & tie the tomato branches
also? I was only gonna tie the stem. Because im worried that the friut
would be so heavy in the future that they can break the branches. I have
read that Indeterminate tomatoes will grow and produce fruit until killed
by frost.
My tomatos are Indeterminate ones(i live were it never snows) will they
still die for me if i keep them in the shed in winter. It shouldnt get
colder then 5C. Or will it keep living & making fruit? Thanks ﻿

Great info! This year I planted at only 1 foot intervals, but I’m using a
string trellis and pruning continually. This is the first year I’ve tried
it this way and so far the plants seem very healthy. Most are 4-5 ft tall
with multiple flower/fruit sets. We’ll see how it goes, I could end up
regretting it. But sure love experimenting with different setups. Thanks
so much for another great video!﻿

Watering seems like a simple topic, but I read an article in Urban farming(
about stressing tomatoes for better taste and nutritional content) that
Commercial growers water their plants once initially by flooding the area,
then once again a month later. How is that even possible when if I water a
plant too late in the day it seems to crack all over the place?﻿
